The bokeh is great. Very nice. Sharpness is also great. However the light from below does not seem to flatter the subject. Nice catch with the light in her eye.

Not being an "expert", these are just observations that are, hopefully, helpful.

This could have been a good photo for the challenge if the lighting were a little better. The light from below and opposite side, is too harsh and causes too many shadows.
